Find out how GFRP fiberglass dowels and tie rods from Fiber Dowels make bus lanes and BRT lines more sustainable and future-proof.
With the increasing use of public transportation, especially via Bus Rapid Transip (BRT), bus lanes are becoming increasingly congested. Fast, heavy, frequent buses require robust infrastructure. Yet many municipalities and contractors struggle with subsidence, cracking and maintenance problems.
The solution? GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) dowels and tie rods from Fiber Dowels. These modern materials are designed to significantly extend the life of concrete bus lanes and BRT structures, even under the harshest conditions.
What exactly is GFRP?
GFRP stands for Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer. This is a combination of glass fibers and resin that combine to form an extremely strong, lightweight and durable material.
In concrete structures, GFRP is used to make dowels and tie rods that:
- Are non-magnetic, preventing interference with detection loops or vehicle sensors
- Are completely corrosion resistant thus no rust, no expansion
- Are high load-bearing, thereby withstanding the heavy dynamic loading of buses
- Lightweight, making them easier and faster to install
Case study: BRT line in North Holland
When constructing a new BRT connection in North Holland, between a station and a new housing development, the contractor deliberately chose GFRP dowels and rebars from Fiber Dowels.
Why this choice?
- Fiberglass dowels offer durable load transfer without risk of rust
- Fiberglass tie rods limit movement and joints stay tight
- No risk of interference with traffic light induction loops
- Longer service life with reduced maintenance costs
Expecting the bus lane to last at least 30 years without major repairs is a huge long-term savings.
